Chapter 525 Hibernation and Pallet Town
Luo Mu almost thought he had added some shady medicine to the apple, which was why Zhimi had such a big reaction.
Fortunately, Zhimi reacted quickly, forced herself out of the intoxicated state, and explained to Luo Mu: "I'm really sorry, I seem to have lost my temper."
"fine."
Luo Mu waved his hand to show Zhimi not to take it to heart, and then asked.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied with the taste?"
The question was like this. In fact, based on Zhimi's reaction just now, Luo Mu already had a vague estimate in his mind.
This thing can probably be done.
Zhimi's answer was just as Luo Mu expected.
He excitedly held Luo Mu's hand and said with bright eyes, "This is the most delicious apple I have ever tasted."
"Just the juice of the pulp exploded in my mouth, and my mind seemed to have received a steady stream of inspiration, and countless ways to cook it properly emerged."
"My friend, I can guarantee that even the world-famous "Kitagami Township Specially Selected Apples" cannot compete with this gem in terms of flavor! "
Zhimi's tone of voice was quite exaggerated, even if he was as cheeky as Luo Mu, he was a little embarrassed.
But when Zhimi compared the specially selected apples from Beishang Township, he was indeed a little happy, which Luo Mu admitted.
Seeing Zhimi taking off his cold-proof gloves with excitement on his face, as if he were handling a rare treasure, he carefully stroked the apple he took a bite of with his fingertips despite the severe cold weather.
For a moment, even Luo Mu didn't know how to complain because he was short of words.
By the time Zhimi calmed down, about ten minutes had passed.
"Ahem——"
Zhimi, who felt he had lost his composure, coughed lightly, held the apple tightly in his arms, and asked tentatively:
"Are these apples also accepted for private purchase?"
"If possible, I would like to develop a dish based on and starring it as the signature dish of my restaurant."
To be honest, Luo Mu thought things would go smoothly and achieve the result he wanted, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
However, the credit of Big Head is still due to the efforts of White Puff, Plump Dragon, Fruit Gnawer, and many Pokémon on the farm, in order to cultivate such excellent crops.
Regarding Zhimi's inquiry, his answer was naturally no problem.
His goal is to make the farm’s apples, and even other fruits and tree fruits in the orchard, famous in the world. And with a purchase order like Zhimi Restaurant coming to his doorstep, which has huge influence, how could he not? Agree?
You know, the origin of all ingredients is marked on every menu at Zhimi Restaurant!
Unless Zhimi makes the food super unpalatable, there is no risk of overturning.
But will Zhimi make the food taste bad?
Impossible, Luo Mu still remembers Zhimi's creative dish made with ink from an octopus barrel.
Just the word-of-mouth generated among the diners who heard the news was enough for Luo Mu to supply Zhimi for free.
The cost of transplanting fruit saplings can be earned back in one day by the Moo Moo Fresh Milk business in Pingdie Town.
After receiving Luo Mu's answer, Zhimi's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to say: "Then let's go back and sign the contract immediately!"
In addition to apples, he also had a lot of ingredients he wanted to purchase. Although he didn't see any competitors, what if Luo Mu regretted it?
It must be taken down as soon as possible!
But Luo Mu's next words made Zhimi stunned as if struck by lightning.
".If we sign the contract, can we wait any longer?"
Zhimi felt that her excitement suddenly hit the bottom.
With a forced smile, he asked in a vaguely pitiful voice: "Do you have any concerns? I can arrange the cross-regional transportation cold chain here."
Luo Mu gave him a strange look, but he didn't worry about it.
But yes, he really didn't consider the transportation chain. Since Zhimi said he could prepare it, that would be great.
Thinking of this, he pointed to the frozen creek separated by a wooden fence outside the orchard and explained: "There is a Pokémon on the farm that ran over there. I want to call it back by the way, and then we can go there again." Go back to the farm and sign the contract.”
What? It turns out that’s what it is.
Zhimi breathed a visible sigh of relief and followed Luo Mu outside the orchard. He regained his usual elegance and suggested in a relaxed tone: "What Pokémon are you looking for? If necessary, my Turtlefoot The giant armor has eight eyes, which can help you search faster. "
".That's not necessary."
The image of turtle-footed giant armor flashed in his mind. Luo Mu, who was wrapped tightly and didn't feel the cold at all, shivered.
This Pokémon looked a little abstract, so he didn't want to look at it unless necessary.
Fortunately, the Gyarados didn't run far. As soon as he passed through the orchard and walked along the fence that served as the boundary of the farm, Luo Mu saw the Gyarados lying on the ice, staring intently at the bottom. figure.
Pointing at the huge blue body of Gyarados, Luo Mu said to Zhimi, "Look, it's right there."
Zhimi was a little surprised.
It's Gyarados?
Does the farm also need to raise Gyarados?
Zhimi, who also raised a Gyarados himself and is also the Water King, expressed confusion.
However, from his point of view, this Gyarados was well-raised, but it was still inferior to the Swampert and Menas that amazed him.
As if he knew what Shimi was thinking, Luo Mu explained, "It was a wild Pokémon before, and it had a good relationship with Milotica, which was still a fishy fish at the time. I captured it and brought it back to the farm."
Shimi suddenly realized.
And Luo Mu walked up directly, stood on the ice, and patted Gyarados, who was concentrating on staring down and alert, and didn't even notice his arrival.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Gyarados was almost scared, and subconsciously wanted to use the destruction ray in anger as if it had been in the wild before.
But the moment it saw Luo Mu, it stopped and let out a slightly aggrieved roar.
"Roar--"
Why are you scaring me--
"I'm really sorry." Luo Mu apologized insincerely, and then turned the subject back, "So what are you doing, Milotica said you often stay here."
When Milotica was mentioned, Gyarados' attention was diverted at once. It shyly shook its tail and pointed under the ice with the tip of its tail.
"Roar~"
I'm looking for treasure~
In fact, not long ago, it was probably during the days when Luo Mu took Papa to the Padiya Pit.
It ran to the new orchard with a greedy mouth, looking for Feng Mi Long and Hu Hu to eat the newly-fruited fruits.
After eating the fruits, it also got some honey given by the Queen Bee who happened to come to give gifts. Feeling a little sweet, Gyarados thought about running to the stream to drink a few sips of water to moisten its throat.
But just as it lowered its head to drink water, it vaguely saw a mysterious golden object passing through the clear flowing stream!
After returning to Thunder Lake, Gyarados thought for a long time and asked many Pokémon in the farm, and then determined what the target was.
It must be rare gold!
Gyarados, who gradually accepted the deterioration of his friendship, was no longer calm.
You know, Milotic's beautiful fish tail also has golden patterns!
It likes that kind of pattern very much, it is shiny.
Gyarados stubbornly thought that Milotic would definitely like this precious item of the same color as it. If he gave it to Milotic as a gift, would Milotic be happy?
So whenever it had free time, it would squat here, even if the stream was frozen, it would stubbornly wait for the gold to swim by again -
Today was the same.
After talking about so many causes and consequences, Luo Mu actually didn't understand Gyarados's series of calls at all.
All he could understand was that Gyarados seemed to be looking for something.
Thinking of going back to ask Moltres, Chihui or Bud Crown to translate for him again, Luo Mu simply took out the tools he had prepared.
He directly checked Gyarados and confirmed that it was not sick because of the sudden drop in temperature. Luo Mu then left a reminder of "Remember to come back early if it's cold, don't get sick", and took Shimi back to the new home on the farm.
Shimi already had the signed contract in his hand, and only needed to make some modifications according to the situation of both parties.
In this regard, Luo Mu directly handed it over to Chihui to handle.
The purchase price of various crops given by Zhimi also exceeded Luo Mu's imagination.
The profit from apples that are probably sold at a very cheap price in the vegetable market may be able to compete with the farm's largest income business, Moo Moo Fresh Milk!
The prices given for the purchase of many other crops are also very generous.
According to Zhimi, good ingredients must be priced to match their taste.
Zhimi will also arrange channels such as cold chain transportation and air transportation. Luo Mu only needs to prepare the ingredients on the list sent by Zhimi in advance during a fixed time period, and someone will come to pick them up.
Having said so many benefits, Zhimi naturally has corresponding requirements under such favorable conditions.
For example, fruits and vegetables must be freshly picked, which is the most basic and most important point. It may be difficult for other farms. After all, it is obviously difficult to grow high-quality off-season plants under heavy snow.
But this is not difficult or tricky for Luo Mu's farm.
Because Shimi's restaurant receives a fixed number of people every day, and the demand is not particularly large, it is enough to focus on the crops in a small piece of land, and there is no need to manage such a wide area as usual.
As long as they focus on planting specific types of crops and prepare the crops for harvest in each cycle, it will be fine.
Moreover, if necessary, Luo Mu can also consider building a greenhouse, and severe cold is not something that is difficult to overcome.
After happily signing the contract with Shimi and agreeing on the time for the first delivery, Luo Mu and the Pokémon on the farm enjoyed a private banquet cooked by the world's top chefs.
Then, before the night fell completely, he sent Shimi to the airport in Niangguang City and watched him board the plane to the Kalos area.
Because he had experienced a lot of things today, looking back, Luo Mu forgot about asking Zhihuixing and the others to translate Gyarados' words.
Gyarados also squatted in the frozen stream every day to "wait for the rabbit", and his willpower was quite firm.
November 9.
Luo Mu received a call from the Kanto area.
And the caller was Xiaozhi.
It seemed that he had been struggling for a long time before calling. When Luo Mu just answered the phone, Xiaozhi on the other end was still a little hesitant and couldn't get to the point for a long time.
When Luo Mu followed his topic, Xiaozhi gradually relaxed and said in a full and perhaps somewhat self-rewarding voice that he had successfully won the Silver Conference.
Luo Mu praised Xiaozhi so much that he almost lost his mind. He even forgot that he had decided not to say this embarrassing thing out loud, and he just let it slip.
Xiaozhi said that since he won the Silver Tournament, he felt that he was not far from becoming a Pokémon Master, so he simply chose to rush to the Pokémon League and used the challenge qualification of the tournament winner to challenge one of the Four Heavenly Kings he was most familiar with, Xiba.
Then he was shaved bald and carried away by 6 to 0.
It was also this tragic defeat that made the proud and complacent him realize that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people -
The previous sentence was nonsense.
Luo Mu couldn't understand how this person could be so stupid. Did Xiaozhi suffer such a beating in the Padiya region in vain?
It was just a tournament victory, and he was still so arrogant?
Resisting the urge to fly over on Dragonite and shave Xiaozhi's head, Luo Mu heard Xiaozhi mention on the other end of the phone that he would travel to a new area in a few days.
This time, it was the Hoenn region.
Luo Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard the news, and chatted with Xiaozhi for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
The Bud Crown, who was learning from Zhihuixing and knitting a scarf with both hands clumsily, put down the ball of yarn in his hand and looked at Luo Mu.
"Should we take the armor to him before he leaves?"
Bud Crown suggested.
Luo Mu blinked and thought in his mind.
Calculating the time, it has been almost a month since Xiaozhi left the Padia region. According to the normal training progress, Tan Xiaoshi can almost be ready to evolve.
Besides, he has to prepare for Nemo and the others and the matter of Luna in his hands.
Pallet Town happens to have Professor Oak, an authoritative Pokémon doctor. With his help, the public Luna should be able to avoid many detours.
Luo Mu is not a shy person. Blueberry Academy will arrive in the Padia region in a few days. It won't take much time for him to go to the Kanto region. Just go and come back quickly.
After making the decision, Luo Mu nodded to the King of the Flower Crown and said, "Then I will go wake up the Moon Bear. I'll trouble you and Zhihuixing to prepare the armor."
The King of the Flower Crown nodded slightly, and Zhihuixing beside him also waved his fan, indicating that Luo Mu should go without worry, they will prepare it.
Luo Mu put on a down jacket and boots and went out.
Calculating the time, the Moon Bear has been hibernating for several days since the day of the heavy snow.
Fortunately, he can still wake it up normally.
